The documentary of National Geographic about the construction of the national stadium of Beijin known as "bird's nest"
Located at the Olympic Green, the stadium cost US428 million. The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm.

Beijing National Stadium, colloquially as the Bird's Nest, is a stadium in Beijing, China. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Located in the Olympic Green, the $423 million stadium is the world's largest steel structure. The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003, after a bidding process that included 13 final submissions. The design, which originated from the study of Chinese ceramics, implemented steel beams in order to hide supports for the retractable roof; giving the stadium the appearance of a "Bird's nest". Ai Weiwei, the artistic consultant, played a critical role in pushing the design to have unique Chinese characteristics. The retractable roof was later removed from the design after inspiring the stadium's most recognizable aspect. Ground was broken in December 2003 and the stadium officially opened in June 2008.

A shopping mall and a hotel are planned to be constructed to increase use of the stadium, which has had trouble attracting events, football and otherwise, after the Olympics.
The stadium's design originally called for a capacity of 100,000 people; however 9,000 were removed during a simplification of the design. The new total of 91,000 was shaved further when 11,000 temporary seats were removed after the 2008 Olympics; bringing the stadium's capacity to 80,000.
The stadium will be used for the opening and closing ceremonies of 2022 Winter Olympics. It will be the only stadium to date to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics and Paralympics opening ceremonies.

List of national stadiums

Many countries have a national sportstadium, which typically serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams. The term is most often used in reference to an association football stadium. Usually, a national stadium will be in or very near a country's capital city or largest city. It is generally (but not always) the country's largest and most lavish sports venue with a rich history of hosting a major moment in sports (i.e. FIFA World Cup, Olympics, etc.). In many, but not all cases, it is also used by a local team. Many countries, including Spain and the United States, do not have a national stadium designated as such; instead matches are rotated throughout the country. The lack of a national stadium can be seen as advantageous as designating a single stadium would limit the fan base capable of realistically attending matches as well as the concern of the cost of transportation, especially in the case of the United States due to its geographical size and high population.

Beijing National Stadium

Beijing National Stadium, officially the National Stadium (Chinese:国家体育场; pinyin:guójiā tǐyùchǎng), also known as the Bird's Nest (鸟巢; niǎocháo), is a stadium in Beijing, The stadium (BNS) was a joint venture among architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron of Herzog & de Meuron, project architect Stefan Marbach, artist Ai Weiwei, and CADG which was led by chief architect Li Xinggang. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics and will be used again in the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The stadium is currently used mostly for football matches.

Beijing Vacation Travel Video Guide • Great Destinations

The Chinese is one of the worlds oldest civilizations. The capital, Beijing with its 11 million inhabitants is now a modern city with skyscrapers, highways and shopping malls. Its several ancient monuments are all oases of silence. The Tien’anmen square is possibly the largest and most famous square of the world. The former imperial palace, surrounded by wall was called ‘the forbidden city’ because a commoner could not enter here. At least that beautiful is the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven, where pieces from the ancient artist await the visitors. When in Beijing, one must not forget the Buddhist temples, and the zoo, where the very rare panda bears are living. Let us not forget about the gastronomical part of China, since the country’s cuisine is one of the best on Earth. From Be...

One of the most stunning landmarks in China is The Great Wall which was recognized as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. It was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern border of the country as the great military defence project of successive ChineseEmpires, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. This national symbol is an outstanding example of the superb military architecture, technology and art of ancient China.
While in Beijing, make sure you check out these TOP ATTRACTIONS:
* The Old Implements Museum
* Forbidden City
* Summer Palace
* Great Wall of China

Street Food - Chinese Street Food - EGGBreakfast Jianbing - BEST Street Food in China.
Featuring all The BEST, HIDDEN, and DEEPStreet food you can find in Peking's Hutongs! Like the famous egg Jian bing for breakfast, and a giant, cheap Peking duck for dinner. We ate a lot of unique and rare Chinese street foods that you must try, all throughout Beijing's Hutongs! I brought a long time friend - Chuchu, to join me for eating Beijing's best Street food!
In this Chinese Street Food tour video, I'm going to take you on a food street journey to many delicious, mouthwatering street food places around Beijing, AKA Peking, in Northern China. If you're thinking about traveling to China for the street food, make sure to come visit Beijing. You can enjoy unique Chinese street foods hidden in Beijing's Hutong Alleyways and try some classic Chinese cuisine favorites like Peking duck AKA Beijing duck, Jian bing ( 煎饼) AKA Chinese crepes, and a ton of other hidden specialties.
In the past 3 years, I've shot and eaten street food around China, including locations like Chengdu, Lanzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Beijing, Wuhan, Leshan, Shanghai, and Xinjiang's Silk Road. So far, the street food in each of these locations has been the best street food around the world!
Chinese cuisine is so fantastic, it would really take a lifetime to eat all of it. I consider myself super lucky and fortunate to be able to live in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, eating Sichuan food and sampling food across the whole country whenever I get the chance. I've decided to stay living in China for another year or two or even more, shooting delicious street food in china for you and across asia as well!
Here are the addresses and locations and restaurant names for the Chinese street food I had in this Beijing travel video. Most locations were deep in Beijing's Hutong alleyways!
1) Famous beijing breakfast Jianbing - AKA Chinese Crepe
北京市东城区大兴胡同内。
2) DeliciousSesame butter porridge made from millet AKA Miancha:
北京市东城区南大兴胡同7号
3) Very stinky Douzhi fermented green bean porridge (even stinkier than stinky tofu!)
北京市东城区天坛北门对面老磁器口豆汁店
4) Organ soup and specialty Beijing zhajiang noodles AKA Zhajiangmian!
北京市东城区东四北大街141号老北京百年卤煮店
5) Beijing Duck / Peking duck!

The Chinese is one of the worlds oldest civilizations. The capital, Beijing with its 11 million inhabitants is now a modern city with skyscrapers, highways and shopping malls. Its several ancient monuments are all oases of silence. The Tien’anmen square is possibly the largest and most famous square of the world. The former imperial palace, surrounded by wall was called ‘the forbidden city’ because a commoner could not enter here. At least that beautiful is the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven, where pieces from the ancient artist await the visitors. When in Beijing, one must not forget the Buddhist temples, and the zoo, where the very rare panda bears are living. Let us not forget about the gastronomical part of China, since the country’s cuisine is one of the best on Earth. From Beijing we can travel to the old capital, Xian, where the famous clay soldiers can be seen. The Ming Dinasty Tombs are only 50 kilometres far from Beijing, but the Great Wall of China is not far either.

Beijing National Stadium, colloquially as the Bird's Nest, is a stadium in Beijing, China. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Located in the Olympic Green, the $423 million stadium is the world's largest steel structure. The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003, after a bidding process that included 13 final submissions. The design, which originated from the study of Chinese ceramics, implemented steel beams in order to hide supports for the retractable roof; giving the stadium the appearance of a "Bird's nest". Ai Weiwei, the artistic consultant, played a critical role in pushing the design to have unique Chinese characteristics. The retractable roof was later removed from the design after inspiring the stadium's most recognizable aspect. Ground was broken in December 2003 and the stadium officially opened in June 2008.

Bird’s Nest Tour (Beijing National Stadium, Beijing Olympic Park)

The Beijing National Stadium / 北京国家体育场 / 北京國家體育場 or Bird's Nest / 鸟巢 / 鳥巢 is located at the Olympic Green and cost US$428 million to build. The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003 after a bidding process that included 13 final submissions. The design, which originated from the study of Chinese ceramics, implemented steel beams in order to hide supports for the retractable roof; giving the stadium the appearance of a bird's nest. Leading Chinese artistAi Weiwei was the artistic consultant on the project. The retractable roof was later removed from the design after inspiring the stadium's most recognizable aspect. Ground was broken on 24 December2003 and the stadium officially opened on 28 June 2008. A shopping mall and a hotel are planned to be constructed to increase use of the stadium, which has had trouble attracting events, football and otherwise, after the Olympics.
The stadium's design originally called for a capacity of 100,000 people; however 9,000 were removed during a simplification of the design. The new total of 91,000 was shaved further when 11,000 temporary seats were removed after the 2008 Olympics; bringing the stadium's capacity to 80,000.
The stadium will be used for the opening and closing ceremonies of 2022 Winter Olympics. It will be the only stadium to date to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics and Paralympics opening ceremonies.

Beijing Olympic Anthem 2008

The ceremony was directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who was the chief director and was assisted by Chinese choreographers Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya. The director of music for the ceremony was composer Chen Qigang.
It was noted for its focus on ancient Chinese culture, and for its creativity, as well as being the first to use weather modification technology to prevent rainfall. The final ascent to the torch featured Olympic gymnast Li Ning, who appeared to run through air around the stadium.
Featuring more than 15,000 performers, the ceremony lasted over four hours. The opening ceremony was enjoyed by spectators and various international presses as spectacular and spellbinding and by many people said it was "the greatest ever".

National Grand Theatre, Beijing - lighting by iGuzzini

http://www.iguzzini.com
The NationalGrand Theatre, located in the centre of Beijing, approximately 500 metres away from Tiananmen Square, is a real island of culture in the centre of a lake. The large grey titanium ellipsoidal dome has a width of between 144 and 213 metres and a height of 46 metres, and is divided into two by a curved glass cover. There are three auditoriums inside the building: one is dedicated to opera, one to concerts and one to theatrical events. There are also several exhibition spaces which are open to the public.
iGuzzini illuminazione worked with Paul Andreu and the lighting designer Kaoru Mende to create artificial lighting in the public spaces and the foyer.

Here's your essential Beijing travel guide this month of August 2017! Our host Jin Ye tours us around the best places to eat, drink, shop, and play in Beijing.
Beijing is a big city and it's often said that if you've never been to this city then you've never really been to China. To make the most out of your stay in Beijing, get a Smart Card which you will use to pay for rides on the subway, city buses, some taxis (taxis with the sign of ‘Welcome to Use IC Card’) and the airport express train.
One of the most stunning landmarks in China is The Great Wall which was recognized as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. It was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern border of the country as the great military defence project of successive ChineseEmpires, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. This national symbol is an outstanding example of the superb military architecture, technology and art of ancient China.

Street Food - Chinese Street Food - EGGBreakfast Jianbing - BEST Street Food in China.
Featuring all The BEST, HIDDEN, and DEEPStreet food you can find in Peking's Hutongs! Like the famous egg Jian bing for breakfast, and a giant, cheap Peking duck for dinner. We ate a lot of unique and rare Chinese street foods that you must try, all throughout Beijing's Hutongs! I brought a long time friend - Chuchu, to join me for eating Beijing's best Street food!
In this Chinese Street Food tour video, I'm going to take you on a food street journey to many delicious, mouthwatering street food places around Beijing, AKA Peking, in Northern China. If you're thinking about traveling to China for the street food, make sure to come visit Beijing. You can enjoy unique Chinese street foods hidden in Beijing's Hutong Alleyways and try some classic Chinese cuisine favorites like Peking duck AKA Beijing duck, Jian bing ( 煎饼) AKA Chinese crepes, and a ton of other hidden specialties.
In the past 3 years, I've shot and eaten street food around China, including locations like Chengdu, Lanzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Beijing, Wuhan, Leshan, Shanghai, and Xinjiang's Silk Road. So far, the street food in each of these locations has been the best street food around the world!
Chinese cuisine is so fantastic, it would really take a lifetime to eat all of it. I consider myself super lucky and fortunate to be able to live in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, eating Sichuan food and sampling food across the whole country whenever I get the chance. I've decided to stay living in China for another year or two or even more, shooting delicious street food in china for you and across asia as well!
Here are the addresses and locations and restaurant names for the Chinese street food I had in this Beijing travel video. Most locations were deep in Beijing's Hutong alleyways!
1) Famous beijing breakfast Jianbing - AKA Chinese Crepe
北京市东城区大兴胡同内。
2) DeliciousSesame butter porridge made from millet AKA Miancha:
北京市东城区南大兴胡同7号
3) Very stinky Douzhi fermented green bean porridge (even stinkier than stinky tofu!)

4) Organ soup and specialty Beijing zhajiang noodles AKA Zhajiangmian!

Beijing Vacation Travel Video Guide • Great Destinations

The Chinese is one of the worlds oldest civilizations. The capital, Beijing with its 11 million inhabitants is now a modern city with skyscrapers, highways and shopping malls. Its several ancient monuments are all oases of silence. The Tien’anmen square is possibly the largest and most famous square of the world. The former imperial palace, surrounded by wall was called ‘the forbidden city’ because a commoner could not enter here. At least that beautiful is the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven, where pieces from the ancient artist await the visitors. When in Beijing, one must not forget the Buddhist temples, and the zoo, where the very rare panda bears are living. Let us not forget about the gastronomical part of China, since the country’s cuisine is one of the best on Earth. From Beijing we can travel to the old capital, Xian, where the famous clay soldiers can be seen. The Ming Dinasty Tombs are only 50 kilometres far from Beijing, but the Great Wall of China is not far either.

Beijing Travel Guide - Bird's Nest HD

Beijing National Stadium, colloquially as the Bird's Nest, is a stadium in Beijing, China. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Located in the Olympic Green, the $423 million stadium is the world's largest steel structure. The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003, after a bidding process that included 13 final submissions. The design, which originated from the study of Chinese ceramics, implemented steel beams in order to hide supports for the retractable roof; giving the stadium the appearance of a "Bird's nest". Ai Weiwei, the artistic consultant, played a critical role in pushing the design to have unique Chinese characteristics. The retractable roof was later removed from the design after inspiring the stadium's most recognizable aspect. Ground was broken in December 2003 and the stadium officially opened in June 2008.
